        I'd love this!

        I recently participated on this Towards Cooperative Commonwealth: Transition in a Perilous Century course on the hosted version and I know the organisers would love to be able to host it themselves next time šŸ™‚

          Is there still an appetite for this? I can give it a shot in my spare time. I’m very much into teaching and learning tools being more available so more options would be good IMO.

            Definitely!

            I can give it a shot in my spare time.

            That'd be awesome, thanks!

            Yeah, really we need Moodle (ā˜‘ thanks @atrilahiji!), Canvas LMS and then eventually the Open edX platform too! (although I get the impression that is quite a complex beast)

            They are seemingly the 3 most mature and actively developed learning platforms out there:

            (although the others there look interesting too! šŸ˜› )

                @atrilahiji You bet!
                Moodle has a lot of features, but canvas is easier for students and teachers to navigate and use.

                      @jimcavoli @atrilahiji it'd be really great if you could work together to get this packaged for Cloudron! šŸ™‚

                      I was just reading this:

                      https://forum.meet.coop/t/shared-learning-spaces/550

                      And it seems lots of people think Canvas LMS is quite a bit easier/ simpler to use than Moodle.

                            @atrilahiji Yes definitely an interest. It would be good to have something more modern than Moodle, which is a pig with a bit of lipstick (IMHO).

                                      Moodle has massive developer support, is widely used around the world and already supported on Cloudron.

                                      I haven't looked too much into Canvas LMS, but I would say the strongest alternative to Moodle would be Sakai:

                                      http://source.sakaiproject.org/release/21.1/
                                      https://www.sakailms.org/

                                      Sakai has been under development for many years now, though not so long as Moodle. It has some big backers in the world of Education, too.

                                      There is also a LMS (Learning Management System) integrated as a module into Odoo (or Flectra, a fork of Odoo with a Freedom focus.) Odoo and Flectra have a presence on Cloudron, I think.

                                      https://odoo.com
                                      https://flectrahq.com/

                                        @loudlemur I think Canvas LMS is likely more widely used than Sakai given it has even more active development and more stars on github, see e.g.

                                        https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/categories/1695-learning-and-courses

                                        But Sakai seems cool too - we should add an App Wishlist post for it!

                                          @loudlemur I think Canvas LMS is likely more widely used than Sakai given it has even more active development and more stars on github, see e.g.

                                          https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/categories/1695-learning-and-courses

                                          But Sakai seems cool too - we should add an App Wishlist post for it!
